They Even Spelled Aluminium Correctly! Hackaday noticed, second hand, a new job posting at Alphabet looking for a Senior Product Manager to work on a “new Aluminium, Android-based, operating system.”  There isn’t much detail about this new Aluminium OS, apart from the one thing you should expect from any new product these days.  It will be designed with “Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the core”.  What that means exactly is unclear but it could well make Microsoft’s Recall look tame by comparison. It is likely to be aimed at a new generation of Chromebooks but due to the inherent extra costs…
